BMR Front Shock Tower Brace - Black Hammertone (STB002H) - 1993-2002 GM F-Body
Eliminate performance-robbing chassis flex and maximize steering response on your fourth-generation muscle car with the Front Shock/Strut Tower Brace from BMR Suspension. The 1993-2002 GM F-Body platform features an aggressive design and capable suspension, but its factory unibody structure is highly prone to structural flex under load. When pushing through hard corners, executing rapid transitions, or launching at the track, the front shock towers can deflect inward and outward. This flex alters your critical suspension alignment settings, leading to a vague steering feel and decreased predictability. BMR’s STB002H solidly bridges the front shock towers together, creating a rigid structural link that heavily reinforces the subframe and stabilizes your front-end layout.
Engineered for high-performance street driving, drag racing, and handling applications, this heavy-duty 2-point brace delivers exceptional structural rigidity. It is precision manufactured from robust 1-1/4-inch DOM steel tubing that is fully MIG-welded to massive, laser-cut 1/4-inch steel plate mounting brackets. By tying the shock mounts securely across the engine bay, this brace minimizes unibody twist and forces your front suspension components to work with maximum efficiency, delivering instantaneous turn-in response and sharper driver feedback. Boasting a 100% direct bolt-in architecture, the brace installs easily under your hood using basic hand tools in less than an hour, with no permanent modifications, cutting, or welding required.
Finished in a durable, textured black hammertone powder coat for premium scratch and corrosion resistance, this brace provides a clean, stealthy appearance under the hood while standing up to harsh elements. When performance is a must and you want an immediate upgrade in handling confidence and subframe stiffness, rely on BMR Suspension.
